Fade Off

F is for Fade.
And Fade is a colour
That lightens by day
and darkens by night
Until it becomes nothing
Dust specked in a beam of light.

Fade is a person
Weak and absent
Diluting in importance
Losing his worth.
Reduced and reducing.
A grain of salt
sowed on the ocean.
Snow in the frost.

Fade is a person.
Fade is a person lost.

1-2-3 Spin

123 spin
stick another needle in
123 spin
shove it out or shove it in
456 roll
do it baby do it slow
456 roll
the program has started
everybody go
Better fit in boy
better fit in girl
better fit in boy
better fit in girl
It's the formulalalalalala
It's the formulalalalalala
It's the formulalalalalala
Lalalalalalalala

123 spin
Stir the bullshit mix it in
123 spin
see the blind lead blind lead blind lead in
456 roll
sheep like marching marching on
456 roll
keep your mouth shut or sing this song

It's the formulalalalalala
It's the formulalalalalala
It's the formulalalalalala
Not me baby, I've had enough
